i think, but i oso not very sure, that u r wrong.

i know one, but this is obvious. u can have a wii like pc at your living room, so when u want to do pc like things u don't have to get up and go to the room. sometimes oso u want to listen to music or see some videos, and don't want to go to the room, or lazy to on your hifi/blue ray set.

but those functions make me yawn.

thanks. i looked through the link, nothing that interest me. yeah. its not for everybody. but i imagine if i don't have a pc, then all those function would be very useful.

i go on youtube using internet channel too. no problem also. load as fast as my pc

a few point i want to make:
1. if u didn't buy the original wii game, no matter what u say to justify it, it is still illegal. but point taken u only said u rip it off the DVD, so there is no proof u did anything illegal. assuming u own the original wii DVD, then its perfectly legal.
2. having said that, i will proof to u in malaysia piracy is legal. illegal means u will go to jail or get fined if u do it. so if u don't go to jail, and don't get fined, then it is legal. therefore, piracy in malaysia is legal
3. dolphin emulator is worst then a modded wii as of now. it is getting better (development is on going) but still got a long way more to go. not all games can play properly as of now.
4. dolphin emulators are not user friendly. u won't get a non-techie interested in it. not for everybody.

emulators have been around since the birth of computers. its not a new concept. its software. and any software engineer can tell u u can make software do anything. it come in different packages but they all have the same objective to emulate a popular platform. but one thing they have in common, that they never get to emulate perfectly.

dono, he said coz he can't upgrade his wii. which is not true, u can. the effort of research to upgrade your softmod wii through backend is less then effort of research on the emulator.

keep it simple smiley.

mumeichan, u sound like u taking this as a hobby. that's good for u. but i wouldn't even spend even 1 minute of my gameplaying time to do this. that's also the reason i don't sofmod my wii.

yes and no. the wii is at home with my family, and i am working everywhere except at home. i do go home often of course. now my mobile console is the ps3. so i still play my wii, but only when i am at home.

slim. 3 kg of slimness, not mentioning my 5 kg of 19 inch hd tv. 8 kg of wholesomeness. no choice, otherwise i will cari perempuan, which is more expensive then my ps3, and heavier too.

eh darktan. ya la, our "creative wii" entries went missing la. must be the automated "batu api" detection system they recently implemented. good lah. LYN is really a leader when comes to synertized discussions.

the cheapest option is to buy from Wii shop, which is found in your wii menu. all u need is a credit card and to set your country as "Brazil" in your wii settings. this is the cheapest option trust me.

Another not so cheap option is to buy wii point cards. u can get it from most game shops, like gamer's hideout and such. the price is marked up, so it won't be as cheap as the 1st option

how much those gp batteries? i remember buying sony rechargeable batteries. waste of money only that one.

that's right. that is what will happen if u set to US. that is y we all set to 'Brazil' if we want to purchase via wii shop.

bricking only applies to modded wii when u update the firmware either through wi-fi update, or via playing a game disc. changing the country to brazil is NOT updating firmware. so whether yr wii is modded or not, it will not brick. trust me.

Added on February 7, 2010, 3:05 ambefore my lousy sony rechargeable batteries(cost me rm90), i bought this:

most shop sell it for around rm80. only lasted me 1.5 months. both battery kaput together at the same time, imagine that. so far i spent rm170 on my rechargeable bats and still not satisfied. i got so fed up, i been using non-rechargeable ever since. i think i will go with eneloop bats for peace of mind. i never heard it fail.

nintendo should think like sony. ninty wants to save a bit on cost, but really for us users its not cost savings at all. i really appreicate the DS3 controller. even if no more charge, i can still continue playing like a PS2 controller.

ok then, make buit-in rechargeable.

a straight answer:
wanna ask... if an Mod Wii wanna UNmod can or not???
can if us or japan modded. but for korean, most say cannot. kira cannot lah.
where to find unmod Wii
anywhere in the world except malaysia, people actually ask "where to find modded wii?". in malaysia the question is always terbalik. actually many places - best denki, kyoyogami.......etc. look at the first page of this thread.....ada.
Mod Wii cannot go online and create own Mii???
people actually very confuse with whether a modded wii can do what an unmodded wii can do. give u an analogy, if u modify a car, can it still do what an unmodded car do? yes and no. depends how u mod the car, right? so, a simple answer would be can. but if u happen to have a problem, u need to mod it somemore to solve the problem. and that's the hassle of a modded wii i.e. the "modding it somemore" part.

KOREK! spot on. if u lady driver.... u don't want mafan right? u just want to drive the car. modded cars are only for enthusiast/hobbyist.

good question. i believe the demand for unmodded wii is higher. that is why its more expensive. but malaysian sellers don't understand this (idiots!). they insist buyers wants modded (idiot again!). but then no demand. so no demand price drop lor.

gamecuge is the previous generation console. it is more meant for those who have a collection of gamecube games to ease those to migrate to the wii. however for u, since u are not from the gamecube console, u will need to have the following first as a prerequisite:
1. Gamecube memory catridge
2. Gamecube controller
3. Gamecube game (disk)

1 and 2, u got to purchase seperately. U can't use the wii controllers.
3. u can get at super discounts now. coz they are discountinued since 2007. the games are very good. in fact most wii games from nintendo are upgrades of the gamecube ones.

so got such thing la

i dont know what to do
